Reminders first this week:

Additional piece of home learning this week – Children to complete a family plastic diary and bring in for an english lesson on Wednesday 29th June.

Chichester Harbour Trip next week on Friday 1st July. Packed lunches are required for the trip.

This week has seen a hive of activites going on in Year 5 and across the school (Carnival day photos to follow).

Thursday saw a group of children across the school taking part in a pizza making afternoon with UK Harvest, an organisation that utilises healthy food that would otherwise be thrown away and turns it into appertising meals. Luke, Xaviay and Hattie enjoyed their pizza making session and showed off their healthy veggie toppings. Luke was particularly excited about eating his pizza after school.

Earlier on Tuesday, KS2 held their Sports Day morning with the welcome return of family support. Even though the temperatures rose throughout the morning, the children loved the house team activities, organised by CM Sports, and worked so well together to collect ‘pasta’ points. Everyone was so encouraging and their was a great team spirit. The final running races produced its top 3 boys and girls in each year group with a medal presentation ceremony. The winning house was Green – St Teresa.

Whether children were victorious or not on the day, we chatted with the children about the importance of their contribution to the whole team and how that can lead to collective success and a growth in resilience. Well done to all!

This week we have been busy getting ready for the carnival on the 24th June. We have been practising our Indian style dance moves (huge thanks to Rose, Ishana and Lola), learning an Indian folk song and drawing animals that are from India. We hope you’ll be able to see us all in action at the carnival. A letter about face painting and clothing for the day  has been sent out, with the children today.

We have also been practising our hockey skills with CM Sports, during our PE time this week.

Reminders:

Children will need to wear PE kit for their Monday (20th June) PE session.

Tuesday 21st June is KS2 sports day – children need to wear their PE kit but with a t-shirt that is the colour of their house team.

Homework and a book reviews are due in on Thursday 23rd June.

Enjoy the weather and the weekend,

the Year 5 Team

This week saw Year 5 complete their D.T cookery project linked with our Geography country topic of India. We had previously researched ingredients used in Indian cookery, conducted a sensory session to identify spices and food that we wanted to include in our samosa and salad and designed our samosa and mango chat salad.  On Tuesday, we made and tasted our Indian samosas and salads. Everyone really enjoyed the experience and learned a lot about how much chilli powder they should or should not include!!!
